I sit and ponder at my country, Nigeria. I muse and turn over in my mind how a series of the game plan by citizens, policy and decision makers have brought us to an administration which deserves a standing ovation.
On the far side of this layout are the APC chieftains, the likes of *Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Arc. Bulama Waziri and Bola Tinubu, among many. Now in a colony of political intellects, with APC at the climax of mending loose ends within the party, I am coerced into anticipating greatness for Nigeria. Amongst this cluster however is a munificent man worthy of recall.
A man who has perused time and strenght into this province, Arc. Waziri Bulama.
Having served the party for over a decennium, he has made manifest of his interest for the APC national secretary.
Bulama, who is very calm, and articulate will certainly complement the chairman’s personality, which heavily weighs towards innovation and reliability. If the decision makers make the right decision by shortlisting Bulama, the two will unequivocally make APC a Brobdingnagian establishment.
As a stakeholder of the party, a woman, a youth and a member of Bulama Support Group, i am optimistic that this will happen. When i joined this noble cause it had just few members, within a span of one week i witnessed volunteers from all corners of the six geopolitical zones troop in thousands.
I have seen immense hope in their eyes; they yearn and thirst for Arc. Waziri to become the APC National Secretary. What took me aback is the secretary of BSG Comrade Paul Oyiborolume, and members of the group who have invested their time, resources and energy into the campaign for Waziri. The Founder of BSG Alhaji Ibrahim Waziri and head of strategy and planning along with members of the committee are at the apex of the whole lot, mobilising volunteers and paying homage to all corners of the country. This gesture is one that deserves an acknowledgement of merit. As an observer and partner i am obliged to give an enthusiastic recognition to the group. Thus, Bulama is a man we are proud of.
It is to no surprise that Comrade Adams along with stakeholders of the party made a redoubtable and distinguished resolute in the campaign by selecting Bulama at the Zenith of the presidential campaign.
However, the APC which has whirled around President Muhammadu Buhari since inception will need to make tough, quick yet strategic conclusions as to who they hand pick for National Secretarial role.
With the exit of Baba Buhari in 2023 the party will have to construct robust leadership structures that will give it a unifying footing before this time. As a Nigerian and member of BSG, i anticipate that APC will put to use Arc. Waziri Bulama to serve as the National Secretary for the party.
My reasons span from the fact that he is cerebral, modern, calm and has wisdom the party will definitely make good use. He has moved solidly from the grassroots to the steep incline of Nigerian politics. He gives us hope as a young people in Nigeria.
